Authenticated SMTP Notification?

Submitted by Anonymous on November 17, 2006 - 09:49.

I keep receiving an "Unable to send message: bad or unknown sender". I believe the issue is that our SMTP server requires authentication for sending. Are there any options to support this for the "Send Email" notification?

Authentication, encoded or plain text is an option supported in the professional edition.

Some mail servers can relay, or relay for just specific emails.

You can also just execute a script instead of an email. On BixServer with command line parameters, the script can use sendmail or mail to send your message.

For example
mysendmailscript.sh %NOTIFICATION% %HOSTNAME% %STATE% etc.
